Is It Worth Renting Out Your Flat Through an Agency? A Full Comparison

Because your time is valuable too—and so is your peace of mind.

Thinking of renting out your flat… but not sure whether to do it yourself or go through an agency?

It’s an important decision. And like most things in life, it depends on what kind of experience you want.

We’re not here to scare you or push you into anything.
We just want to give you a clear comparison so you can make the best choice for you.

Renting On Your Own: Pros & Cons

Pros:

• No agency commission

• Full control over every step

• Can be profitable if you know exactly what you're doing

Cons:
You’re in charge of everything:

• Finding tenants

• Taking photos

• Managing inquiries

• Drafting contracts

• Solving problems

• Scheduling viewings

• Being available 24/7

And you face:

• Higher legal and financial risks if something goes wrong

• A lot of time invested (and usually, a lot of stress)

Renting Through an Agency: Pros & Cons

Pros:

• No need to manage paperwork, calls, or issues

• Contracts are legally sound and up to date

• Tenants are screened professionally

• Clear communication and support throughout

• You get paid without having to chase anything

• Fewer risks, more peace of mind

Cons:

• You pay a commission (but it usually pays for itself quickly)

• You’ll need to trust the team (that’s why we work transparently and closely with you)

What if I want to rent it myself, but get help for just a few things?

That works too.

We offer à la carte services like:

• Legal advice

• Contract drafting

• Tenant screening

• And more

You decide how much you want to handle and how much you want to delegate. It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

So… is it worth renting through an agency?

If you value your time, your peace of mind, and want to do things right from the beginning—yes, it’s worth it.
And in most cases, it pays for itself by helping you avoid vacancies, legal mistakes, and unnecessary stress.
